Once you get the general “shape” of the “ground”, if you use a rasp, it’s much easier to finish shaping your foam. Also, it leaves the surface good and rough enough for clays to adhere without having to use PVA. Of course you still can, and I do, but you don’t need near as much.

@viabum2 жыл бұрын
I know I'm practically a year late to the part but the tank and the terrain both look excellent! I do see what you mean about the model feeling out-of-place in the terrain, though. As a Californian, I can say that maybe some ash of varying sizes on the tank itself might help it fit in a little more. I live many miles away from the many fires we've had the last few years and even so, there's always visible ash all over my car whenever they happen. Some of it's so fine it's basically dust. Also, the sunlight turns a deep orange because of all the particles in the air, but I don't know how helpful that would be in the context of a diorama. Anyway, love the crazy amount of care and detail, and the casual atmosphere of this channel. Looking forward to more!

For fixing pigments, consider using a small pump spray bottle to apply the fixing medium. You'll still get the capillary action from larger droplets but you run less risk of disturbing the pigments. Oh, and you can protect the foam from the dissolving effect of the lacquer with a layer of PVA glue.
